Hello!
I’m Guru Prasad Dash, 37 years old, working as a Manager in the Commercial Department at Tata Steel. In 2021–22, I was diagnosed with diabetes with an HbA1c of 9.5. I was on medicines, low on energy, constantly tense, and my family often told me I had become dull and angry.
When I joined Freedom From Diabetes (FFD), I never thought my life could change so dramatically. But within weeks, everything turned around. Here’s my story.

Key Takeaways

HbA1c reduced from 9.5 to 6.4 in just 15 days
Diabetes medicines stopped in 3 days
Hypertension medicines stopped in 12 days
Weight reduced from 122 kg to 83 kg in just 64 days
Cleared GTT successfully in 64 days
Regained energy, confidence, and personality

My Diabetes Story

I was diagnosed with diabetes around 2021–22. My HbA1c was 9.5, and I was prescribed diabetes medicines like Glucomet 500 and later Udapha Triode.

I struggled with fatigue, dullness, low energy, and constant anger. I looked tired, and even my family felt I had lost my charm. At that time, my weight was 122 kg.

How I Found FFD

I first came across FFD on Facebook and Instagram, but I learned about the detailed program through my company Tata Steel, where HR introduced us to the Long-Term Program (LTP).

I attended the DRS session, and that lit the spark. Even before formally joining the program, I began following the advice and brought my weight down to 105 kg by April 2025.

What inspired me the most were my seniors Mr. Goutam Chakrobarty (Admin Head) and Mr. V. Narendran (Finance Head). They had reversed diabetes through FFD and transformed their health.

Watching their real-life transformations motivated me to take charge of my own health before turning 40.

Reversal Story

I joined FFD on May 17th.

Within 3 days, I was able to stop my diabetes medicines.
In just 12 days, I stopped my hypertension medicines as well.
After 64 days, I even cleared the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT), which felt like achieving a milestone.
My HbA1c reduced from 9.5 to 6.4 within 15 days.
Alongside, I lost a staggering 39 kg in just 64 days, going from 122 kg to 83 kg.
One of my proudest moments was being able to wear the same shirt I wore on my engagement day back in 2013.

Before & After HbA1c

Before FFD: 9.5
After FFD: 6.4

This wasn’t just a number, it was a symbol of my freedom.

Health & Lifestyle Improvements

I feel 10 times more energetic than before.
My dullness, fatigue, and constant anger have vanished.
I can now run continuously for 30 minutes, covering 4 km at 7.5 km/h average speed.
Earlier, even walking was a struggle; today, I perform 16 Surya Namaskars with ease.
My personality has transformed. I feel lighter, happier, and more confident.

Dietary Changes

This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my wife. She ensured my diet was always in line with the FFD protocols.

Morning: Smoothies, sprouts, nuts
Lunch: Balanced, controlled meals
Dinner: Lighter options, as guided by my diet expert

Initially, I had a mental barrier that I might feel weak without medicines or heavy food. But thanks to my diet expert Amrita Ma’am, I stayed positive, consistent, and motivated throughout.

Inner Transformation Journey

Before FFD, I struggled with anger and tension. My family often pointed out that I looked stressed and unhappy.

Through FFD’s Inner Transformation sessions, I learned to stay calm, positive, and in control of my emotions. This inner shift reflected in my health, energy, and relationships.

Athletic Identity

Earlier, I couldn’t even think of running. Today, I can run 30 minutes non-stop and practice yoga daily. Though I am still exploring my full athletic identity, I feel I’m on the right track to becoming stronger and fitter each day.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I live a medicine-free life. I feel like I’ve gone back to my younger self light, active, and confident. My family, friends, and colleagues notice the transformation, and it inspires them too.
